Leeks was rather a stern pnrent, who had been making his boys behave themselves and work hard.

The three boys, ages 12, 14 and 16, were lodged In jail this morning. The 14-year-old boy who did the shooting says that he did it because his older brother told him to do it.

C. —Chief of Police Sammons asks the automobile owners and drivers to co-operate with him and his men in relieving the traffic congestion on North Main Street.

He will appreciate the co-ope ration of the people. The drive-to-the-right ordinance is being compiled with nicely, and it is giving great relief. The policemen are doing what they can to keep down violations of the speeding ordinances and the using cut out ordinances. The people generally appreciate the work of the members of the force. The first violation since the mini mum fine ordinance was passed fixing thinfmum tines for offenses of carry ing weapons was aired in the record er’s court. A white man from Wil liamston was fined $5 for being drunk and SSO for carrying a pistol.
